Apr 16, 2015 · A patient rated as LE DVT-likely should immediately undergo a Duplex ultrasound. 25, 30, 60, 69. Individuals in the DVT-likely category will test positive on the D-dimer test, so D-dimer has little value. If the ultrasound is negative, the physical therapist should consider the patient safe to mobilize. ................
